A Bourne film without Matt Damon? For a minute there I feared we were treading James Bond territory, where he gets reincarnated periodically and then I realised, this is a Bourne film without Matt Damon because it is a Bourne film without Jason Bourne.

Yes, there was more than one renegade super-trooper after Project Treadstone, and Jeremy Renner is he.

And to be fair, Renner has seen more action that Damon did before Bourne - he was the sniper in 28 Weeks Later and also the bomb disposal loonie in the Hurt Locker, among other gung-ho roles.
